POLITICO series: Ohio ‘cautionary tale’

“Sometime after the cock crows on the morning of Nov. 7, Mitt Romney will be declared America’s 45th president,” Rove wrote on Wednesday night. “Let’s call it 51%-48%, with Mr. Romney carrying at least 279 Electoral College votes, probably more.”

He argued that Romney has a “small but persistent polling edge,” leading in 19 of the 31 national surveys released in the last week, he said, and the GOP candidate “was at or above 50 percent in 10 polls, Obama in none.” President Barack Obama was ahead in seven of the polls, Rove said, and five were tied.

The former senior aide to President George W. Bush also cited data from Gallup that, he said, indicated Republicans might have a slight edge on voter turnout, and that so far, the GOP was also winning early voting.

“Furthermore, in battleground states, the edge in early and absentee vote turnout that propelled Democrats to victory in 2008 has clearly been eroded, cut in half according to a Republican National Committee summary,” Rove said. “But doesn’t it all come down to the all-important Buckeye State? Here, too, the early voting news isn’t encouraging for the president.”

What's he going to tell all those billionaires on Nov 7th, once they realize they were not able to buy the presidency! Poor Rove, his days as a strategist are about over. It's off to Fox for him after a brief stay in an asylum to readjust his reality.

What else can Rove say? He's made so many promises to the billionaire backers and took so much of their money, he's now offering up this propaganda to give himself time to get out of town before they know he's gone.

IT COMES DOWN TO RIGGING THE VOTES AND THE BALLOTS! I have been saying it for sometimes now--these folks are plotting to rig the elections.

THOSE ROMNEY VOTING MACHINES—FBI MUST TAKE NOTE

ROMNEY AND HIS BACKERS AND DARK OPERATIVES ARE DETERMINED TO WIN THIS ELECTION BY LIES, RACIST TACTICS, FRAUD AND OTHER DEVIOUS MEANS trusting that low information voters will be fooled! REMEMBER TAGG ROMNEY’S VOTING MACINES, FOLKS!!! BE WARNED DEMOCRATS!!! PREPARE TO RESPOND!

ROMNEY SAID DECLARATIVELY DURING THE LAST DEBATE "When I am President." Note first: Tagg Romney has financial interests in two companies that make voting machines, including machines in key battleground states like Ohio! THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT. Given how Romney operates and does business, how can anyone trust those machines? I have been saying it for long but FEW PEOPLE ONLY seem to notice or take this development seriously, yet. Romney and his ruthless, immoral operatives have already set in motion plans to rig this election. We have seen fraud being committed already by Republican operatives registering only Republicans, tearing up and throwing into the waste basket forms of "registered " Democrats, an RNC employed company committing voter fraud, bill boards in minority neighborhoods peddling misinforming (especially about voting requirements and voting date), intimidating voters with threats about “fraud” charges, Republican Secretaries of States fighting to limit voting and voting hours instead of encouraging voting, long fights about voter ID laws, purging of election rolls in Republican-controlled states, misinformation about voting date, plans to intimidate (harass) voters (especially minority voters) on election day by needlessly challenging ballots and forcing voters to prove they are eligible to vote, plans for manipulation of rural voting, outright efforts by the rich to buy this election with their dirty money, and more. These people will do anything to try to win, including computer fraud and manipulation of digital data as was successfully done in Wisconsin under Walker. Romney might be able to manipulate computers from as far away places as India and China where he perfected out-sourcing and from the Mormon archival mountains in Utah and Nevada, including gambling dens in Macau. FINALLY, Romney has been urging employers to intimidate their employers in his favor, and many are complying telling their employees they must think of their own jobs before voting for anyone else other than Romney. This outrageous development strikes at the very foundation of American democratic rights! These dark operatives want, at the very least, to create a constitutional crisis as happened in Florida in 2000--in the hope that a Republican-controlled Supreme Political Court will side with them. This time, the people will rise up en masse against fraud and politico-judicial attempt to derail the authentic will of American voters!

When folks like Rove make such predictions for political reasons only they are hard to take serious. Here is a fact, in 2008 Obama performed much better in the election then the polls indicated prior to the election and the same will be true this time.

Much of his support comes from working people who can't sit around and answer phones at night and respond to polls.

In 2008, Obama performed better than the polls in the following states that will decide this election:

Ohio- 2.1%, PA- 3%, Florida- 1%, CO- 3.5%, NV- 6%, WI- 2.9%, MI- 2.9%

IA- 6% and NH 1% worse than the polls

If you can count Mr. Rove, it will be President Obama at 322 on election night.

this is the same guy who got his own math in 2006 and got smoked. this is the same Rove that in a race that should not be close and both candidates spending 2 billion has a 9 vote electoral victory for Romney? where not one state has solidly changed for Romney ? I see a close race but Obama sqeaks it out with Ohio,Wisconsin,Iowa and Nevada

by John Nolte 29 Oct 2012 There are all kinds of reputable pollsters whose results never seem to get anyone at the corrupt Politico excited enough to launch a headline -- this includes Scott Rasmussen. But man alive, the corrupt Politico sure does love them some left-wing pollsters, especially PPP, which is associated with the Daily Kos and SEIU. You would think that would be bad enough, but the corrupt Politico just hit a new low by disguising as serious news an affirmation of strategically leaked internal polling from the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA.

"Even though Scott Rasmussen has a brand new poll today showing Romney up 50-48 in Ohio, you won’t read about that at Politico's Burns and Haberman blog. You will find this propaganda, though:

We posted yesterday on a Priorities poll showing Obama ahead in the state of Virginia. Burton's message alludes to that poll but gives this longer readout on the group's data:

1. The President is holding narrow but steady leads in Colorado, Nevada, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. The race is a dead heat in both Florida and Iowa, with the President leading in each state by a single point.

2. For those who have voted early, he is leading by double digits — in Ohio, the margin is 2-1. …

This is only a partial look at the group's data, of course — there aren't even top lines or margins of error for us to examine.

But this matches up with what I've heard from Democrats around the group in recent days, as well as the Obama campaign.

So not only is Alexander Burns (you remember him) cutting and pasting propaganda onto the pages of Politico, he's also reassuring his readers that the propaganda matches up to what others in the Obama campaign are telling him -- you know, on the side -- so it's probably true. So take heart, Democrats, and don't forget to vote!

First off, what else is a super PAC going to say in a fundraising email? Secondly, what else is the Obama campaign going to tell their shills in the media -- that they're losing?

Just today, David Axelrod held a conference call with the media, and according to our own reporting, was extremely defensive and desperate to reassure reporters they're not losing -- even as they send Bill Clinton to Minnesota, and Joe Biden and a huge ad buy to Pennsylvania. So ludicrous was Axelrod's spin, reporters were told on the call that North Carolina is a dead heat.

Apparently, though, Burns is under the impression that while the Obama campaign lies to everyone else about almost absolutely everything, in private, they tell only him the truth. And shock of shocks, what's whispered in his ear just happens to perfectly match up with the poll numbers in a fundraising plea sent out by a proud hack like Bill Burton.

If I were a political cartoonist, I'd put Burns on his knees in The Church Of Obama with Axelrod dressed as a priest serving him a wafer made of bull sh#t. "
